After half an hour, the first wave of the offensive of the Lincheng offensive ended with the defeat of Yuan Zongdi.

In just half an hour, the surrounding area of the city has become a hell of a nose, the corpses of the bullets and missing arms and legs are scattered all around the city, and the soldiers who have been blinded by the golden juice and have no time to retreat are lying on the ground with heart-rending wails.

After a few days, the vast majority of soldiers who came into contact with the gold juice on their skin would die in agony, because in those days, the mortality rate from infections caused by the gold juice was as high as 80 percent.

According to rough estimates, at least more than 1,200 people of the peasant army will not see the sun tomorrow in this attack, and at least this number will be injured.

The casualties of the soldiers of the Thousand Households who were attacked by crossbow arrows from all sides were not low, there was no way, wars were always dead.

"Chang Yu, count our casualties!"

The joy of repelling Yuan Zongdi's first attack did not last long, and the city walls were full of wailings, which made Liu Hong's heart rise again.

"My lord, in this battle, a total of 142 soldiers were killed in the Thousand Households of Banzai Mountain, including 12 people from 100 households, 108 people from 100 households with swords and spears, 2 shield soldiers, and 20 people from 100 households of cavalry.

Two hundred and twenty-seven wounded, of whom eighty-four were unable to participate in the ensuing battle. ”

Chang Yu's eyes were red, and several of them were his subordinates who he personally led.

"My lord, more than 800 people in the city who assisted in the defense were killed in the battle, and most of the rest were wounded by arrows!" Chang Yu said in a deep voice.

"Got it, choose those with excellent shooting results from the 100 households to fill the vacancy of 100 households, and go down to arm!"

Liu Hong's voice was low, Chang Yu seemed to feel something, and retreated to arrange the next city defense.

It is undeniable that the people who die the most in every offensive and defensive battle must be the people who assist in the defense, these people have no armor protection, let alone training, and often forget to dodge in a panic and die at the hands of the enemy.

Shooting 100 households only need to point their guns at the city to shoot casualties are acceptable, and the soldiers of the cavalry 100 households are incorporated from the only remaining Guanning iron cavalry, all of them are heavily armoured, and ordinary arrow feathers are unbreakable unless they are shot in the neck or face.

Half an hour ago, these teenagers who were still carrying spears and big knives were jumping around alive, and more than 100 people died in an instant.

According to the later generations, they were all minors, and these young people trusted him so much, believing that by following him, they would be able to eat enough and let the widowed mother of the family live a good life.

War is not child's play, a small mistake can easily take the lives of his soldiers, when the conscription Liu Hong gradually and vigorously looking for children whose relatives had died in the war to enlist in the army.

He really wants to slap himself in the mouth now, why do he have to find these children to die for himself?

Just to obey discipline? Most of these children's families have lost their fathers and brothers, and now they are ......

How do you account for it to their mothers?

At this time, Liu Honggradually finally truly understood what it means to be a general, like walking on thin ice, like facing the abyss, trembling. ’

"My lord, the enemy is moving again!" Yan Yingyuan spoke out, interrupting Liu Hongji's self-blame.

The war was already like this, and the guilt was irreparable, and he had to do everything in his power to hold the city in order to keep its people and his 2,000 soldiers.

Liu Hong gradually walked to the top of the city and looked at the enemy army in the distance.

Behind the enemy's formation, rows of war horses were slowly moving towards the city with things covered with black cloth.

The thing under the black cloth seemed to be very heavy, and in addition to the need for war horses, there were five or six strong men in ordinary household clothes behind them who were grinning and pushing.

"My lord, it's possible...... It's a Franc machine! Yan Yingyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice trembled a little.

The city defense of Taiyuan Mansion is equipped with twelve Franc machine cannons, although compared with the Franc machine when Li Zicheng attacked the capital before, the tonnage is not large, but the city wall of the city is low and thin, only the foundation is paved with bluestone, and the top is all blue bricks.

Although the artillery at this time could only shoot solid bullets, it was far from being able to withstand the walls of Linxian County.

At first, Yuan Zongdi didn't want to bring these big guys over, in his opinion, a small city like Linxian could be taken with just a charge from his strictly trained soldiers.

But just to be on the safe side, I finally took the advice of my men and took these bulky guys with me.

The Franc machine was inconvenient to move, and Yuan Zongdi was anxious again, so he had the tentative siege just now, and it was not until the end of the battle that these big guys were pulled under the city.

"Mr. Yuan, Fan lived up to his expectations, and finally brought this Franc machine to the adult!" Fan Yongdou hadn't exercised for a long time, and when he rode a horse from Meng County, he was already sweating and panting.

"Yes, Lord Commander, this time our eight brothers support the adults, I hope that the adults will be victorious, can rescue Xiao'er, and kill the thief official in the city!" Wang Youcai also gave Yuan Zongdi a flattering salute.

"Bold! What kind of general soldier, to be called King Chuang, this is the new King Chuang! If you dare to talk nonsense again, my tongue will be cut for you! ”

Yuan Zongdi, whose face was full of iron, had not yet spoken, and the golden-eyed biao behind him pulled out the knife and shouted angrily.

"Yes, yes, it's a small clumsy mouth, and please forgive King Chuang!" Wang Youcai bent down to apologize, and his waist was almost bent at a right angle.

"Stand down, Hugh has to disturb this king to command the battle!" Yuan Zongdi finally spoke, but what he said made Fan Yongdou and the others very cold.

They spent a lot of money, only 600,000 taels of silver, you must know that Yuan Zongdi only had a total of 16,000 soldiers and horses, even if he cut off half of them, it would be nearly 20 taels in the hands of all the soldiers.

It is precisely because of this silver that these soldiers are not afraid of death, how can this Yuan Zong turn his face and deny people?

"King, the best design distance of our Taiyuan Franc machine cannon is two hundred steps, whether it will be fired immediately after reaching the predetermined position!"

One of the soldiers in charge of the firearms clenched his fists and asked Yuan Zongdi for instructions, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he trotted away to give the order.

"Don't let these cannons get close to the city walls, pass on our military orders, mobilize the shooters on the east and west city walls, and give the officers their horses and the people who push the cannons!"

Liu Hong gradually felt threatened, the city wall was still more than 300 meters away from the Franco, considering the accuracy of the AKM, he had to draw more shooters.

After a burst of gunfire, the military horses pulling the twelve Franc machines had all fallen, and the family members pushing the heavy cannons were also holding their heads and running away.

"Humph! Sending heavy shield soldiers to assist in defense, even if you push, you have to push the cannon to this king! Yuan Zongdi was furious.

Rows of soldiers carrying heavy shields came out from both sides, forming a defensive belt in front of each cannon.

“F，U，C，K!” Liu Hong gradually scolded Yuan Zongdi's cunning.

He looked behind the enemy formation, wanting to find Yuan Zongdi's figure, but he didn't want Yuan Zongdi to not find it, but ran into an acquaintance.

Made, it is Wang Dengkun's old miscellaneous hair, and this war was really instigated by this guy.

"Old Fang! Take a few people to your backyard firewood room, and bring those guys who are eating and waiting to die to bring them to the official! ”

Yes! Ask for a referral ticket.
